Short Review
- The Acer Liquid Z530S features a compact design with dimensions of 144 x 70.3 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 145 grams, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6753 chipset with an octa-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 3GB of RAM, enabling smooth multitasking for basic tasks.
- The camera setup includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and an 8 MP front camera, suitable for casual photography and selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2420 mAh, which supports standard usage but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Available in black and white, the design is simple yet functional, though it lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Acer Liquid Z530S is a straightforward smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
